OK, I didn't remember that. Windows API callbacks use multi-threading. > Regarding PacketGetAdapterNames, beware two important things: > > 1.

VB string is something like char array. --- Dim adapters as string Dim adapters_lenght as long Adapters = space(1024) Adapters_lenght = 1024 PacketGetAdapterNames(adapters, adapters_lenght) --- Then just split adapters at chr(0) and parse.
